ABLE Converting Solutions: Exceeding Quality Standards

One of the most important aspects of creating a customized part is quality. It’s important to maintain the quality of the converted part while also making sure that everything is done quickly and efficiently. 

Quality management should be one of the main focuses of a custom converting company. At ABLE, we take pride in our QMS implementation.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what you need to know about ABLE’s quality management that makes us a cut above the rest. 

What is a Quality Management System?

A Quality Management System (QMS) is a formal system that documents any processes, procedures, and responsibilities for achieving quality objectives and policies. Having a QMS allows the organization to coordinate or direct activities to meet regulatory and customer requirements. It also improves the efficiency and effectiveness of the overall procedure consistently. 

Top Three Characteristics of an Effective QMS

A QMS needs to sustain the company’s culture and practice for quality. As such, three top qualities of an effective QMS make the overall process more efficient and meet or exceed quality requirements. 

Strong Focus on Customer Satisfaction

Apart from producing high-quality products, implementing and maintaining a good QMS should also provide excellent customer service. It should focus on both quality aspects and create a better experience for the consumer and the provider. You can use the QMS to also identify any areas of improvement and customize it accordingly to deliver services better.

Continuously Evolving 

Just like the materials and the procedures we use, a QMS must keep up with the pace of change. An effective QMS needs to be active, and it must be able to change just as the organization does. The growth of a QMS needs to be aligned with the organization’s priorities. 

Regular Internal Audits 

One of the best ways to ensure compliance with standards and regulations is through internal audits. These audits reveal problems with current processes or practices that will allow for quick corrective action before things become too serious. Internal audits could also uncover any potential weaknesses in the current QMS that might lead to future problems.

ABLE’s Quality Management System: A Way of Life 

At ABLE, quality is much more than doing a good job and delivering for the client. Our quality management system means that we also set a high standard for ourselves when it comes to our products and services. These are standards that we aim to reach and exceed consistently. 

QMS Certifications: A Testament of Quality 

We take pride in our quality management system certifications. They are a mark of what we continue to deliver to our customers. Our certifications are also a testament to what we can continue to deliver.

Here’s a quick view of our certifications that make ABLE the top choice for a custom converting company: 

• ISO 9001 – (2015) This international certification means that ABLE has demonstrated our ability to be able to provide products and services that meet both the customer and regulatory requirements.
• ISO 13485 – This quality management standard certification is a critical measure in the medical device world to ensure the safety of our consumers. 
• AS9100 – Based on ISO 9001, this standard is set by the International Aerospace Quality Group, but it adds a layer of industry-specific requirements. 

Critical Quality Control: Cleanroom Facilities 

One of the other marks of our quality management system is our cleanroom facilities. These add an extra layer to ensure proper product delivery and safeguard the reputation of the company. 

Our cleanroom facilities are suited and equipped to deliver products of the highest quality. With our 1,200 square feet of cleanroom workspace, we can maintain a clean environment for work and eliminate obstacles that might hinder production. 

Adding to our QMS certifications, we also have the following for our cleanroom facilities: 

• ISO-6 Cleanroom – (Class 1,000 cleanroom); the HEPA filtration system maintains the air cleanliness at no more than 1,000 particles per cubic foot. 
• ISO-7 Cleanroom – (Class 10,000 cleanroom); the HEPA filtration system allows air cleanliness to be maintained at no more than 10,000 particles per cubic foot. 

At ABLE, we maintain our cleanrooms at their optimal conditions to ensure that your customized, converted part will be of the highest quality.
